A STORY FOR CHILDREN. A TALK WITH THE FAIRIES. BT ANNA KATHARINE OREEN. I had never seen a fairy; I had never seen even their foot prints, no matter how hard I looked; but Aunt Sophy told me there were fairies andjsaid, too, that they •could be found if I only set about seeking for them with care and a good will toward them. So very early one beautiful morning, af ter dreaming all night about the fairies ■Cobweb, Peas-blossom, Mustard-seed and ever so many more that papa read about from a big book called fjhakspeare (mam ma had to write the long word for me,) I started from home to spend the whole day in looking wherever I had heard that fai ries love to meet each other. Just as I was passing through our gate I heard mamma calling, and looking back I saw her standing in the doorway, with a little basket so full of nice things that the cover would not go down, but had to be tied with a pretty blue ribbon. “Should you not And the little fuirics,” said mamma, “you may need a luncheon, Kittie. And my darling,” she added, “1. fear that look as you may, you will never dud them unless you wear the Magic Spectacles.” For a moment I felt as if there was no use in starting, but i remembered that grandpa had once told mo that the beat spectacles he knew of was a pair of blue eyes in a curly head that wauted to know everything. So meaning to be very good and kind to the fairies should I see any, I ran back to mamma, took the pretty bas ket and a kiss at once, and said: “I'm not afraid, mamma. Don’t you know what aunty says the moment any thing is lost? ‘Set Kittie hunting for it 1’ And don’t I always find it ?” With another kiss and a hug I skipped merrily down the lane, followed by Biddy the lien, who, with her twelve chicks, had came all the way from the burn to say good-bye. The first thing I did was to search the meadows; for, thought I, if it was true that fairies dance in the gra3a, as every one says they do, there is no place so nice for this as papa’s beautiful meadow. So away I ran, looking carefully at every tuft of bright fresh grass on my way, ’when ah! what was it that hopped up right before me, with its funny little rod jacket buttoned up all crushed, as if it had been put on in a hurry, and its funny little steeple-hat just failing off its wee head. A fairy, if ever there was one 1 And ah I wasn’t he angry and handsome, and very, very much displeased at an unexpected visitor? And wasn’t I frightened at my good luck and wasn’t I delighted? I glanced all about me to see if I was really in papa’s old Hold. But there was the chestnut, tree and the long row of eider bushes by the feuce, and all in the bright day light. By this time I hud got over my fright, aud remembering I was to bo kind to the fairies, I made a low cour tesy and said, “Good morning!” oh, ever Jio sweetly, not to alarm him, and then told him how glad 1 was to meet him, and that I hoped he was well and pleased to see me. But ah, dear, how impolite he was! he grew a little redder and glared at me with his cunning bright eyes aud said: “Why don’t you look at the beautiful red curtains I have just hung up in the east? For what do you suppose I sat up all night weaving together dew aud sunshine, if mortals like you do not notice my work when it is done?” And looking over so much provoked, he pointed the tiniost fin ger I ever saw toward the east. Then wasn’t I angry with myself. For there right before my eyes was the love liest sunrise you ever saw; a rosy sunrise that made me clap my hands with de light. “Dear Mr. Fairy,” I cried, “I beg your pard'on; but did you really weave that and all by yourself, too?” “Of course,” he answered vory coolly, but his eyes twinkled and I could see that he was pleased. “Did you think we fair ies do nothing but dance in a ring and amuse ourselves? I can do more than that, too,” he went on, as I turned away in a J et at his sauciness. “These roses, now! had a hand in their coloring; aud when autumn comes, what poppies I will paint and what brilliant berries I will hang in the woods. And then the maple trees! You shall see, you shall see.” Saying this he whisked his wings in my eyes, gave a funny little jump and was gone. “Well, well, well!” I cried, "now I am put out. I thought that fairies were mce, gentle folks, always good and polite.” “That is because you are mortal and don't know what good is,” piped a saucy voice in my ear. , Didn’t I jump! But I knew it must be another fairy, so peeping around and list ening, I heard the quaintest we bit of a laugh right over my bead, and looking up, saw a little figure dressed all in green, swinging right down on my arm from a bough of the oldlchestnut tree. “Yes, yes, yes,” he cried, winking hi3 tiny eyes. “That is because you are a mortal and don’t know that politeness consists in doing for others, not in bows and scrapes and words you don t half mean. Not but that I like manners my self, and can bow and scrape with the best of them.” And be took oil' his pea-poa bonnet with a very grave bend. “But thi3 isn’t politeness; that is only show. And he laughed so long and loud that I had to laugh, too. , . „„ , “But what are you looking for? he cried. “Fairies? Buz—-whoo—oo oo. And he whirled his little wand, when pres to! every blade of grass shook ofl a tiny figure into the air. “Now look up!” And Buz—whoo—oo oo! went the wand again, and, will you be lieve it, every leaf oil tna’ old chestnut- tree I knew so well, toped from it a little winged creature into the sky. “All right!” he said; and down they set tled again like a swarm of bees. Now you have seen fairies.” And he laughed again, when , . , “If vou please, Sir Verdant, I think the little lady" must bo tired of looking at nothing but green stuff. If she will only come this way—” „ And glancing down I saw a yellow mus tard flower dancing and courtesymg as it in a great hurry to bo noticed. Being S uite used to the manners of fairies by this me, I stooped over the flower and saw standing in its centre a tiny lady with a robe of the brightest sunshine about her and a crown all made of stars, on her head. . “I do not care for green, myself, she went on. “It does very well for grata and trees of course, but even these would be tiresome if it wasn’t for my butteroups rimotV igUt 1 s,,rl " kle ovel ‘ them.

But Autumn! Ohl it is not so with Autumn. He loves to have me help him. And in the bright fall days you can see me busy at work almost any where in the fields or on the mountains.” “ tfo.i hang the tassels on the grain and oats, i suppuji ? ’ I inquired, meekly. Yes, and you ought to see now the Green fairies struggle against it. It is a regular battle, but I always come off victo rious if I am a duinty wee lady. And 1 mak « the evening beautiftil. too,” she cried, lifting her head proudly. "It is I whom you may have seen setting upon a throne when the stars appear—” “Yes, yes,” broke in her husband petu lantly. “And it is that very thing which is spoiling you. If you were more like other wives—glad to live on earth with your husband, Instead of trying to queen it in the way you do over the heavens—it would be better for you.” “And tie myself to a dandelion stem all my days? No, thank you.” Seeing there was a family quarrel in prospect, I turned back to have some more words with my old friend, the Green Fairy. But he had disappeared, so, bidding a gay good morn ing to the littlo couple before me, which they didn't seem to hear, they were so busy, I took up my basket and tripped merrily oti. It was now near noon, for.yon know the time flies very fast when you are convers ing with fairies—and I was just hunting for a cool, shady place to sit down and eat my lunch,, when, hearing a buzzing sound over my head, I looked up and saw what I thought was a big dragon-fly. Now I am afraid of dragon-flies, and was just go ing to run away when I saw it wasn’t a dragon-fly at all, but a lovely blue fairy. Very gently and very slowly he settled down on some violets I held in my hand. “Violets are the pet flowers of my sis ter,” cried he; “and I love them almost as well as I do my own forget-me-not. Have you seen my sister yet?” I told him no, at which he looked up at the. beautiful blue sky and said: “That is my home. All day I float about over the heads of you mortals, breathing freshness and color into the sky. It is not often I come down to visit you', but when I do 1 always bring a bit of the blue heaven with me to drop into the hearts of the patient innocents on the hill or into the eyes of mortal maidens if they are good and sweet, as I know you are.” And he smiled and placed a blossom in my hand. “Blue is n lovely color,” he con tinued; “not evou violet is so pretty to look at. But you must see my sister.” And, leaping to the ground, he led me down in to the marshes. “Violet is shy,” said he, “but very sweet. Come, little trembler,” he whispered, lifting up the corner of a broad, green leaf; when out stepped a dainty creature, with her face hall hidden under a violet hood and her little wings all in a quiver. “This is a kind mortal who has come to visit us,” said ho. “You must show her all your pretty things— your feathers and your shells.” “But she has been with the Red and Green fairies, and they have so much more that is beautiful to shotv that I am ashamed.” “Never mind,” her brother softly whis pered; “she will enjoy what you have. See her hands are full of violots alroady.” “Yes,” said I, “I love violets. I love shells, too. I have a wholo shelf full of them at home, which I shall prize all the more now that I know you painted them.” “Red Fairy and Green helped me,” said she, modestly. “I did not do it all my self. But I weave the twilight. Every night when my pretty brother folds up his wings and goes to sleep I weave a violet coverlet to throw over him.” “Yes, Bhe doos,” that same pretty brother cried. “And such a beautiful one, too. There, there,” he whispered, as her cheeks grew red, “all the world knows you are a darling. But if you are so very shy. this stranger lady will excuse you, es pecially as there is a famous warrior for her to see before she leaves Fairy land." “O yes, the indigo spirit!” I cried, for I had begun to And out luto what sort of a kingdom I had fallen. “Where is he? I have the greatest desire to meet him. I have never seen a warrior.” “You will have to hurry, then,” cried little Blue Jay. “For look! A storm is coming up, and I shall have to fly.” “Do not stay on my account,” I cried, “I shall And the indigo spirit without any trouble, I am sure. You are all too good to me.” Just then there was a heavy peal of thunder. “There he is!” cried little Blue Jay. And glancing up, I saw sitting on the edge or a big thunder cloud a terrible fig ure with a dark corslet of mail on his breast and a long bright spear in his hand. “So that is the Indigo spirit,” thought I, sitting down under a friendly oak tree to watch him. But he shook his dreadful spear, and I was glad to hide my eyes, when Buzz went something past my ears, and turning round, I saw a little yellow fairy flying through the air, followed by her husband, and, yes, by the Red Fairy and the Green. In another moment, to my great won der and delight, the sun shone out, aud there in the spot where the cruel Indigo spirit had stood alone I spied all of my little friends—Red, Green, Yellow,Orange, Blue, Violet and Indigo—grouped in one shining row, smiling upon me and waving their hands. And when I saw how beautiful they all looked together, I felt that I could never doubt again that there were fairies, and that we could all see them if we would. Cencer for Eire V«*r». The interests of humanity seem to de mand the publication of the following facts: Two months ago my attention was called to the case of a poor woman who was said to be afflicted with a cancer. I found her with an ulcer on her shoulder at least five inches in circumference, angry, painful and giving the patient no rest day or night for six months. 1 obtained a supply or Swift’s Specific, which 1 per suaded h r to try. She has taken five bot tles, the result of which is that the ulcer is entirely healed up, nothing remaining but a small scab not larger than one’s fin ger nail, and her general health is better than for five years past. She seems to be perfectly cured. I consider its effects wonderful—almost miraculous. Rev. Jesse H. Campbell, Columbus, Ga.
